It is becoming quite unbelievable as to what the Cubs are going through right now as players are dropping like flies. Some are leaving the roster with injuries that didn't even come from baseball activities.
Matthew Boyd got off to a rough start on Opening Day for the Chicago Cubs and eventually landed on the injured list. That said, the left-hander may return to Chicago's rotation soon.
The Pirates are the team to beat right now in the NL Central even thought everyone thought the Cubs would run the division. However that was far from the case as the two faced off.
Shota Imanaga had a day against the Pittsburgh Pirates, which is more than nice to see. The young pitcher did not have a good end to 2025, but it looks like he has bounced back.
